I recently bought this device, but I can't seem to be able to power it up. I tried the 2 laptops and am using a CAT-5 cable. Please advise.

You need to change your computer to the static IP address. 192.168.1.30 then you can type 192.168.1.20 on e internet browser. It's the only one that works for me. Then for admin just type unbt and do the same for the password. After that go to wireless and look for a tab that when u click it u will see a list of wifis. Click on left to selict ur wifi. Then page will change then just type ur password and apply. That's it. If u can't power and ur connecting it to the laptop only. There is ur problem. U need a power over enthernet power box.

The CAT-5 cable cannot be plugged directly between the bullet and a laptop, my understanding is you must also use a PoE (power over ethernet) injector. The CAT5 then runs from the bullet to the PoE and from the PoE to your computer - or your router.

I assume it worked at some point (adapter) as you said: tested it twice. Mine worked fine when I made the adaptation. There is a lot of connection pens to mate up. Make sure one of them did not get bent and all connections are tight. Sounds as though it could be your home computer as well. Change out different connecting cables again, if it does not work then I am betting it is your computer.

First, the power supply to each unit needs to be plugged in.The units should light up after the HDMI and cate5 connections are made securely. The cate5 connections are sensitive. You may have to wiggle them to make connection. Make sure those cate5 cords are wired properly. Use a tester if in doubt. I had mine working for about 5 minutes. After that, they haven't worked since, even with the lights on. I'm reluctant to purchase new extenders (assuming they are the problem) because of the expense. I've called in the Geek Squad for assistance (due next week).

Maybe? I am using a laptop that has powered eSata port, and I'm using an eSatap cable that I got from Amazon, separate from the enclosure. Sounds like you have a similar setup. otherwise you will probably have to power the device from USB, but be connected to eSata first and perhaps the connection will be established on eSata. This is how some other enclosures function.

Even if you use modified cables to get it connected, the device doesn't have enough power broadcast.I believe that the best option is to use a reapeater that has an SMA connector.I'm not sure about your application, but your solutions may deffer based on budget.Let me know if you have questions? adam.rce [at] gmail.com

Hi Lisa,Try resetting your power cycling your equipment. It sounds like you have a clogged network that needs to be refreshed. Here is what you do to power cycle:Disconnect the computers from the network and shut them downPower down your routerPower down your modemLet everything sit for about 1 minPower up your modemLet it completely restart (about 1 min)Power up your routerLet it completely restart (about 30 secs)Then power up the computers and reconnect as normalLet us know if you need further assistance.Thanks,Medialink Products856-216-8222support@medialinkproducts.com Hi Lisa,Try resetting your power cycling your equipment.

I never hooked up sound, so I can't speak to that aspect of the device. I think that this is a very old model, it's probably been sitting in the warehouse for a long time. I returned this model immediately after receiving it. It wouldn't power up, when it finally did the screen was obviously damaged - googling suggested the damage was from being too hot. Sorry, that's all I've got. It would be helpful to know what source you have it hooked up to and how you've plugged it in.

I had no luck. I bought it and got no signal. Even did a continuity test and seems as if there is no connection. Good luck but I think this is a novelty. No actual way to convert technology.

Nah it only comes on intermittently, when it does it comes up garbage, i eventually got it to work and managed to recover some files off with recovery software but lost most of the stuff that was on it. Tried formatting etc and regardless of which computer its plugged into, it only connects intermittently and corrupts the data.

I bought one and plugged it right in and it worked, I'm even using one of the SFP ports. You might try a reset to defaults if that doesn't work return it or call support.

It may be a defective unit or if you added any devices (dvd drive, new video card. etc) you may need a more powerful power supply. Also make sure you are using a surge protector. I hope I am not insulting your intelligence.

If both devices have an ethernet port, you could connect them; not sure what type of cable modem you are using. Try it, shouldn't damage anything.

I ended up not using this device. The device cam e less power supply. I tried to contact the manufacturer to no avail. After may efforts they were to send a power supply but I got another unit instead. As I remember all inputs were hdmi. I hope this helps. I would not do any business with this company. They are also off shore. Good Luck Howard

My first guess is the batteries. My second guess would be to double check the UPS port and make sure its seated well. I didn't have to do anything extra to connect the devices; once it was plugged into the laptop, it was ready for use in about 1 minute. I hope this helps.

You should be able to hook up two computers. Should it not work, try hooking it up to another device to see if it works, if it doesn't, maybe you have a defective cable.

Dude, I've got the power cord pulled against the peripheral with black tape just so it will power up. Trust me, spend the extra $ and get something else. This thing sucks. I really wish I had.
